Unless you want this exact thing as a kind of archeological exercise, the 
original guys behind SHRDLU claim to have it ported to Common Lisp.

the common lisp port was written by a group of
students and is known to have many issues.

on a related note, it seems that its.os.org is no longer
on the internet, but is still listed as the URL to find ITS
images, ie on trailing-edge's page for the klh10 emulator:

http://klh10.trailing-edge.com/

is anyone aware of a mirror of the its.os.org files or
other sources for ITS images?

Myself, I'd like to know the (positive if possible) answer, too.

Strangely, I was unable to locate anything in my archives. I must have 
been fancied by TOPS stories too much.

All I was able to find was this:

http://www.cosmic.com/u/mirian.html

and some links to ITS stuff on

http://pdp10.nocrew.org/

Not sure if there you can find what you need.

I believe the included RP06 image is at 
ftp://ftp.trailing-edge.com/pub/PI-ITS-RP06.0-dbd9.bz2

It is an KLH10 "dbd9" style image.

Not sure if this is the same thing.  The file reference on its.os.org was
a .tar file.  Did it contain a single file?  perhaps klh10 config files and
documentation?

I take that back.. the config files present in the klh10 dist under run
already reference the PI-ITS-RP06.0-dbd9 file.

Unfortunately I
havent had much luck running it yet..  not sure why, but possibly because
I'm on a 64-bit linux and I built everything with "gcc -m32".
I built "base-ks-its" and copied the files from run/ksits and when
I run "kn10-ks klh10-kn.ini" and type "go" it doesnt seem to be doing
anything.  If I hit a key the first key seems to have no visible effect
but following keys print out a message like "[CTYI: 15 => 415, old 415]".
not sure if this is the emulator misbehaving, or me doing something
wrong.

Yes, they can.  I've been doing it for years.

I've not tried SHRDLU on ITS.

I remember seeing this under ks-kn10, but don't remember what the fix was off
hand.  I'm away from my computer until later this week, so I'll have to look
that up and get back to you, probably not on the SimH list.

The SimH KS-10 is much better behaved for ITS, in my experience; I only use
KLH10 for Tops-20 v7.x and Tops-10 v7.04.  Then again, I usually use the real
hardware at the museum for all three.

You need to look at Bjorn Victor's intro pages http://victor.se/bjorn/its/ for
how to set things up, even if you think you intend to use Ken Harrenstien's
distribution on the PI disk image (which you will have to convert to SimH
format with the KLH10 tools).

if you, or others, could provide a guide for running
maclisp in ITS in simh, I think that would be great.
If not, any hints you can give would be appreciated.
I only chose to use klh10 over simh because I read
that others had used it to run ITS.
